ESPN announced that they’ll be airing the Los Angeles Lakers’ home game on Saturday against the Indiana Pacers to accommodate Luka Doncic’s expected debut.
ESPN was initially scheduled to air the Utah Jazz versus the Phoenix Suns on Friday.
Doncic has been sidelined over a month now with a calf injury and vice president of basketball operations and general manageer Rob Pelinka said at his introductory press conference that he is considered day-to-day.
Doncic participated in the team’s practice on Wednesday though head coach JJ Redick didn’t want to commit to the superstar playing on Saturday.
